Pat and family,

To lose someone so suddenly is often hard to comprehend. We don't always get a chance to say our goodbyes. I feel your brother lived his life to the fullest while he was here. Every time I saw him (often with his young daughter on his shoulders) he was laughing or smiling. I know you will all see him again and I know he will be close by to watch over his children. I am sorry for his passing.

Sincerely,

March 9, 2013
